Special occasion card!

Good morning Lovelies! Where is the sun? Lol!

Today's card I made last week for a lovely friend of mine! And her surname funnily enough is "Lovely" hahaha isn't that a great name? Anyway her daughter gave birth 5 weeks ago to triplet Boys, who are doing fabulously btw! They were all over 4lbs and are now all over 5lbs which is amazing for such a high risk pregnancy! She is 39 years old so amazing!

Anyway here is the card I made for my friend, I'm also entering it into http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/ the theme is special occasions!

A very simple and clean card!

I used the lovely new Embossing folder by Anna Griffin from Cuttlebug which also has a border EF which I've used on the blue strip, it's very pretty I think? The flowers are from Petal Lu, you can find her on Facebook! Sorry I can't add a link for some reason? Her blooms are fantastic!

Thank you for visiting, have a great weekend xxx

Gelli Plate fun with Gloss Medium!

Good Evening Lovelies and a very warm welcome to new followers!

It's been so humid here! No sun though, I've had an awful headache all day! But to take my mind off it tonight I've had a play with my Gelli Plate! I love it and get it out often, I've got tons of prints I don't know what to do with lol! But they will come in handy at some point, that's the beauty of it!

So this is a technique I saw on Pinterest yesterday and just couldn't wait to try it out! It's fabulous for all those backing papers we all bought because we needed them but never used, and I probably won't now as I do enjoy creating my backgrounds myself, so its a bit of upcycling!

I used an assortment of masks and papers and just went to work, you apply your Gloss medium to the Gelli plate with Brayer as usual, place your mask or whatever your going to imprint, then press your paper and lift, let it dry then using Distress stains splodge over the colour then wipe with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel, fabulous results!

This first one is a K&co paper a paisley pattern and a stripy one

These were just what I cut off the 12x12 sheets

Sheet music and text paper, I think these two last ones are my favourites? What do you think?

Thank you for visiting, I love reading your comments and really appreciate the time you take to visit xxx

Flower crazy!

Good Evening Lovelies, I hope you've all had a fab weekend? Don't know about you? But the weather has been very strange, hot sunshine one minute, windy and sunny then windy and cloudy then raining! Wish it would make up its mind!

Here's a card I made for a crafty challenge tonight, it didn't win but I enjoyed making it! I didn't notice the bloody great shadow down the right side! Grrrr! Anyway my E-Bosser was getting a good outing tonight all these spellbinder flowers and the embossed background by Anna Griffin with Cuttlebug, it's actually on cream card which doesn't really show well and I pierced all around the edge of the first layer! I really must take a better photo tomorrow in better light! I use Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade distress inks to colour the flowers! Right I'm off to bed, nighty night crafty friends xxx

Thank you for visiting xxx

Here is another picture in better light!

Craft Stamper challenge!

Good Evening Lovelies! Tonight I have made a tag, amongst other things lol, to enter into the http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/take-it-make-it-challenge-three.html

It's inspired by the feature in craft Stamper July edition pages 30-31 by the very talented Birgit Koopsen http://birgitkoopsen.typepad.com/my_weblog/

It's a technique where all the colour on your project is created with Embossing powders! Wow! What a great technique, who can resist it? It's a magical technique, after all the years I've been crafting there's still nothing like it! So here it is!

I used Dylusions masks and the stamps are both http://designsbyryn.com/ personally I prefered it without the stamps on, but the challenge required stamping!

Thank you for visiting xx

My Favourite SplodgeAway Mask!

Good morning Lovelies! I hope youve all had a wonderful weekend?

This week on Splodgeaway it's "My Favourite Mask" week

Today on Splodgeaway blog it is my turn to showcase some projects I made using "My favourite mask"

Oh my word! How could I possibly pick a fave mask??? They are all fab, the only way I could break it down was to choose which I use the most, not easy either but got down to two, then innie meanie miny mo!

So I chose the "Fancy Lattice", I love it and use it quite a lot! Its very versatile!

 

Here are 3 samples

The first one looks quite funky I think? I used the mask one way then turned and used it the other way!

 

The second one I would describe as a Classic design, very generic!

 

And my third I think is Elegant and quite classy, I just embossed it! It embossed beautifully!

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit! Why not pop along to the Splodgeaway website and checkout the fabulous products they have on offer? I hope you pop back to the blog each day this week to see what the rest of the extremely talented DT have made? Have a great day, Zoe xxx
